Karen Jacobs has heard plenty of stories about Glorious Pictures and Phil and Tony Waxman, the notorious twin brothers who co-founded the film studio and now run it with four iron fists. But she doesn't hesitate when she's offered a job there, knowing its a great career move. At Glorious, as she expected, she finds herself with an all-access pass to the tantrums, whims, follies, neuroses and unimaginable egos of the celebrities who star in their films. But what knocks her for a loop is the absolute insanity inside the company -- executives who are continuously searching for ways to outdo, outscheme, and outmanoeuvre each other in an effort to impress the hideous Waxmans. This deliciously dishy novel is jam-packed with insider movie gossip. Rachel Pine was an assistant at Miramax and this is a thinly-veiled account of her time there. Phil and Tony Waxman are based on Bob and Harvey Weinstein and the movies and their whiny, demanding stars are easily identified, for example The Foreign Pilot (The English Patient), The Gravedigger (The Pallbearer), Shriek (Scream), etc.Stars and celebs that get a look in include Woody Allen, Matt Damon and Ben Afleck, Gwyneth Paltrow, a David Schwimmer-alike (and his hit sitcom Fuckbuddies - hmm, wonder what that could be), Larry Flynt, Anna Wintour, various hip hop artistes and the list just goes on and on. With hilarious accounts of the machinations behind the Oscars, film premieres, audience testing, what happens when a canine star unexpectedly dies (you find a stand in, duh!) and much much more, this is a must read for movie fans as well as anyone who loves dummy-spit tell-alls like THE NANNY DIARIES and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA.
